The Problem

Founders fail in two predictable ways

🔨

Build without validating

You spend months building something perfect. Ship it. Crickets. Nobody wanted it because you never asked if they would pay.

📋

Validate but can't distribute

You talk to people. They seem interested. Then launch day comes and you can't find them. No list. No system. Starting from zero.

🤖

Trust AI market research

"Your TAM is $4.2B" - cool, completely useless. AI validation tools give you fake confidence with made-up data.

👋

I made all three mistakes.

Spent 35 days building a SaaS. Auth, webhooks, SSL automation — the works. Shipped it. Result: 2 signups. $0 revenue. Never again.

The Solution

Validation → Distribution. One system.

1

Validate

Find real humans expressing your specific pain. Not AI-generated personas. Actual Reddit posts from the last 30 days with links you can click and verify.

  • Search by pain, not keywords
  • Intent scoring (HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW)
  • Direct links to real posts
  • Reply templates that start conversations
  • Track: contacted → replied → "I'd pay"
r/smallbusinessHIGH INTENT

"I wish there was something simpler than QuickBooks. I'd pay $50/mo for something that just works..."

r/EntrepreneurMEDIUM

"Anyone else struggle with categorizing expenses? Spent 2 hours last night on this..."

The Story

Why I'm building this

Founder
Building in public

Hey, I'm Denis

A few months ago, I spent 35 days building a SaaS. I called it DomainFlow — "Stripe for custom domains." I built auth, webhooks, SSL automation, billing, the works.

Result: 2 signups. $0 revenue.

"The problem wasn't the product. The problem was that I never validated. I fell in love with building and skipped talking to real people."

I realized most validation tools are useless. They give you AI-generated market research and tell you your "TAM is $4.2B." None of that tells you if a real human will pay.

So I'm building what I wish I had: A tool that finds real people expressing your pain, helps you talk to them, tracks who's interested, and turns that into a launch list.

This time: validate first, then build.
